The i810 video driver does not allow any custom modelines. Just what the 
bios reports as being supported. I have one onboard and had to install 
an nvidia card because I could not get any modelines to work. After much 
searching I found where the Intel drivers only allow modes reported by 
the bios and ignore all modeline commands.
